FPS, RPG, SIM ... where are you "at home"?
conduit:
As a kid I played whatever I could get my hands on that appealed to me. Which mainly consisted of platformers and horror games with an occasional RPG. Teenage me got hooked into first/third person shooters and fighting games. I love the fast game play you'd typically see in both with the execution/mentality required to play either genre competently. I put in way too much time trying to get that competitive edge. In adulthood that competitiveness is still there. I still play shooters and fighting games, just infrequently. Shrinking free time really puts your priorities into perspective.
As this moment my "at home" genres would have to be shoot'em ups and platformers. Shoot'em ups share subtle parallels with fighting games and I've enjoyed learning them. While a good platformer is easy to sink time into at your own pace. Horror and RPGs are on the periphery if the mood strikes.
wartoy:
My favorite genres are
1. War sims - World of warships, Ace combat etc.
2. fps - cod, battlefield, far cry etc.
3. racing - grand turismo, forza, mario kart etc.
4. horror - resident evil, silent hill, metro, dead space, alone in the dark etc.
5. strategy - shining force, disgaea, culdacept etc.
6. adventure - zelda, uncharted, tomb raider etc.
7. rpg - final fantasy, oblivion/skyrim, fallout
Least favorite genres are but will play on occasion
8. fighting - tekken, soul calibur, king of fighters etc.
9. Sports - madden, mlb,
10. Platformers - crash bandicoot, spyro, sonic
So i geuss number 1&2 are my top for now.

Platformers are my bread and butter. It’s like momma’s biscuits and gravy. I don’t get more at home than a Mario game. I prefer 2D, because I’m old; it I’m not too shabby at all 3D platformer.
Second is probably arcade-style Beat ‘em Ups. TMNT Arcade, Streets of Rage, Alien vs Predator, The Simpsons; you get the picture. They have so much replayability. Even newer ones like Streets of Rage 4 and TMNT: Shredders Revenge are great.
This was hard. Sports games and Wrestling games are really fun too. I’m sure my answer to this would change like the wind.

Cartagia:
Exploration based action / adventure games. This covers Metroidvanias and Souls-likes. If that only counts as one genre then my #2 would be platformers.
